In the video "AC/DC - Back In Black (Capital Center, Landover MD, December 1981)" by acdcVEVO on YouTube, Angus Young is seen playing a Gibson SG 'Standard' similar to the 1987 model known as 'Shuji'.
in this post, matt pike can be seen with a late 80s Gibson White SG Standard with some Lollar DB pickups.
Jimi: When I got my first Les Paul I had a beat up SG as my backup guitar... they were considered a good budget instrument. I have owned a number of them over the years, but they lack balance. However, I like their sound and neck access... and, like a 335, they are great to sit down to play in the studio.
This '87 has the deeper neck join and a wide neck; I traded my '71 SG for it and have been very happy with it. The white finish is reminiscent of the SG LP that Les was photographed with in the 60's ... although Les did not like them one bit!
